During the absence of A. A. Harris

garret. The following articles were
stolen: One ladies gold watch, one
silver watch, tive watch chains, one
neck chain, one tassel, one pair gold
bracelets. four gold rings, two pins,
four razors and a revolver. The jewel.

Between and o'clock Thursday
evening the reports of two pistol shots
in the direction of Court House Park
caused great commotion on the street
and in very short time a crowd col
lected in front of the Jail, expecting
to see Blinky Morgan and his pals
rush out amongst them. But they
were disappointed: 1t was learned
that the shooting was occasioned by
the attempted escape of VIM. Farm
bach, who YVES under arrest for raising
disturbance, and, in charge of Mar
shall Cannon, was looking for some
friend to bail him. Not being success
full in this, he concluded to try leg
ball." but the officer after ordering
him to stop, fired the two shots in the
air as warning that such actions
were dangerous, which had the de-
sired effect, and the prisoner was re-
captured and lodged in jail.
In the Poultry Exhibit at the Fair,
the fine points and breeding of the
Single Comb White Leghorns from
the yards of Mr.. H. E. Eldridge, of
Aurora, were the admiration of those
whose experience qualified them to
critically judge in respect to the meri-
torious scoring of fowls. Mr.. White,
Judge of the exhibit, pronounced them
to be unexcelled by any birds he had
ever scored. Mr.. Hart, of Cleveland,
one of the oldest and most successful
breeders and fanciers in the country,
said the male birds were equal to any
he ever saw. Certainly high COM
mend to Mr.. Eldridge's success ip
breeding premium fowls,as he inform
ed us he has been but two years in the
business, giving his whole attention
to Leghorns, the only varieties he
breeds.
